The key piece for slicing brisket and thin rib. A long 250 mm blade with a Granton edge that breaks suction and releases each slice clean, instead of dragging it. Nitrum steel, one-pass edge.
A slicing/ham knife from the Riviera series, with a long, narrow 250 mm blade in Nitrum stainless steel. The Granton scallops along the edge create air pockets that stop the slice sticking to the blade: you cut brisket, ham or fish into thin, even slices in a single pass. 374 mm long and 234 g. Ergonomic POM handle resistant to detergents and extreme temperatures. The tool that turns a good smoke into a good plate.
Our pick of the batch. The Granton edge releases each slice clean: brisket and rib come out thin and even. At this price, no excuse not to own it.
Pros
- Granton edge stops slices sticking to the blade

- Ergonomic POM handle, dishwasher safe
- Outstanding value for a slicing knife
- Versatile: ham, fish, smoked meat, roasts
Cons

For you if…
Every brisket and big-cut smoking fan who wants to serve thin, clean slices.
Not for you if…
Not an everyday knife: the long blade is for slicing, not chopping.

FAQ
What are the blade's hollow dimples for?
The dimples create air pockets between blade and slice, so the ham's fat can't form a suction seal and the slice releases on its own instead of sticking to the steel. That's what lets you carve thin, whole slices of ham or a smoked short loin off the kamado. A plain slicing blade cuts just as well but fights cold fat more.
Is it only for ham or also for large roasts?
It handles anything that needs long, thin slices: ham, cured pancetta, salmon and, especially, brisket, picanha or roast beef straight off the kamado. The 250 mm length allows a single-pass cut that doesn't tear the fibre. If your focus is mostly fish and very long pieces, the 290 mm Arcos Universal salmon slicer gives even more reach.
How do I maintain such a long, thin edge?
Honing steel before each use and hand-washing: a long, thin blade suffers most in the dishwasher. The 230 mm Arcos steel is perfect for realigning it; when it no longer responds, a fine-grit stone at a low angle — that's what gives the slicer its paper-thin cut. Always dry it right after washing.
